Notes

  • Can be maintained at 16 Shadow Arts with Glyph of Swiftness, Deadly Paradox, and a perfect enchanting mod.
  • Similarly, an A/Me can maintain Shadow Form by just using Arcane Echo and Deadly Paradox (Cast Deadly Paradox before Arcane Echo).
  • Shadow Form only prevents spells, so signets, touch skills or Environmental Effects still affect you.
  • The health loss caused by this enchantment does not count as damage and therefore cannot be negated.
  • Attacks while under the effects of Illusionary Weaponry will still deal damage as these attacks do not need to hit.
  • Area of Effect spells targeted near you and PBAoE spells, which are untargetable, can still affect you.
  • Like Spell Breaker, spells cast on a creature with Shadow Form on will not only fail, but also result in the caster expending the spell energy cost.
  • If you have a "While Enchanted" health bonus to an item you are holding, the Health loss from this skill is figured before the Enchantment Bonus.
Bug Bug! If a player is targeting an opponent with Shadow Form active and uses a spell which targets an ally, the spell will be interrupted by Shadow Form instead of being automatically cast on the player.
